Hi, I forgot one of the most important things:
An form element does not exists in XUL. Yes, it is still possible to embed HTML tags, but this is not the preferred way. In XUL the request is send to the server as an http request independent of the page load using JavaScript. It is also possible to trigger a SOAP or XML-RPC call.
It means, it would be still possible to send an http request like an html form does. But what is coming back has nothing to do with the next page to be displayed. It should be something the JavaScript can process like a return code.
On the other hand it is more flexible. It is possible to trigger server side validation without any page update or showing the status of asynchronous processes runnning on the server.
